I understand that GM announcements (L3's) will be made this week. I heard there are fewer positions. Any guesses on who is left standing?

Why do we have so many bullsh-t roles like that? Let’s cut those and all of scrum and agile RTE cr-p, along with advisors and PM/POs who just sit in meetings… before we cut actual roles like field engineers and IT folks, who we need. God i hate these... — read more 

Been observing an interesting shift in morale in Houston. When hq move from sr was announced last year & obviously affected bay are a personnel, some Houstonians on my team didn’t seem to care. Nobody reached out to ask if I was ok or how the move... — read more 

Is it possible to apply for unemployment in Texas if you receive severance pay? If so, is it better to apply before or after receiving the severance payment?

Heard from a source that 'exclude from headcount' selected as 'yes' under workday job details means you're out of scope for the reorg. Any truth to this? What about 'job exempt'?

I wanted to bring this post to the top because I am seriously curious about what people think. Currently, we find ourselves in a challenging position within the HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) industry. Our staffing levels are approximately... — read more 

I am late 40s with about $6.4m. I am wondering if I should stay, move on, or just stop. I am motivated to stay for now, but not completely sure why with all of the uncertainty. What is your financial position and what are you doing?

Is it the blow out success we were promised?

I retired a few years ago and pop into this site a few times a year to catch up on what's happening with my former employer. It seems that a layoff has been imminent for years now. What am I missing? Was there a layoff last year, and is another one... — read more 

With all the negative comments on this site, which energy companies do you actually admire/respect?

The only time anyone cracks a smile is when they’re trashing the company or dreaming about unionizing.

Consequently, I've checked out. I no longer care if the reorg affects me or if I end up jobless. I came to terms with the fact that I could be laid off at any time, reorg or not. It can happen regardless of how hard I work, how dedicated I am, or how... — read more 

How are you keeping track of what’s owed for severance- including vacation, R&As, etc. Do the automatically cut a check? do you get to verify the numbers first?

I am taking vacation in September, which is likely my job posting and selection time. I wonder if I should cancel my trip.

I heard about layoffs 3 weeks ago. It is done or on-going still? Lot of chatter so far away from the announcement. Asking for many friends

Can you get the full severance and start a new job right away?

The managers are battling it out as there are fewer jobs than the overpaid managers who just supervise and delegate. Work gets done without them and they are redundant. Hopefully the number of those positions are reduced. Managers make snarky... — read more 

Say you’re a program manager for D&I in a BU, not technical in the slightest but you sit in meetings and chime in here and there. Been at Chevron for a while. Would i be cooked? Can’t see offshored folks doing what i do

Some of you really deserve a daily "bless your heart" for your naivete. Get it out of your heads that layoffs/reorganizations/or however you want to call them will ever end. They will not. They might slow down occasionally, but if you're waiting to... — read more 

Like it or hate this post IDGAF I graduated from an Ivy League MBA. I picked Chevron and had a lot of options. Now I wish I never did. I feel like my MBA was a waste. Harry here makes the same as me and he did a fraction of what I did in life. Why... — read more 

Is ELT making any sacrifices at all during this process? We are laying thousands off and have they gotten rid of the box Seats? They are still sponsoring the rodeo and things like that. Maybe cut those things first. Chevron's reputation is in the... — read more 

It was confirmed in the RBU QA session today that we can all anticipate less career growth going forward, due to fewer senior level roles across the board. Add that the stifled psg progression, and down grading of performance reviews. Gonna be a... — read more 

Part of the purge?

My PSG 25 boss doesn’t really do anything, doesn’t understand the work our team is responsible for and is always signing out early… yet all of the leaders in our org think so highly of this person… I’ve been thinking it must be the sweetest gig... — read more 

Since we are copying Exxon and Shell, how long till we get rid of subsurface roles in Covington like Shell moved roles out of New Orleans? If we are closing Denver are we getting rid of all ways to get out of Houston?

Chevron is laying off thousands to ship American jobs to India. I think the self promotion events are shameful. Chevron's name is already in the dirt. At least ex employees will be able to participate and give the sleeping media a wake up. I am... — read more 

Is there any news about the HR function? Every time I ask my manager she tells me to put my head down and work hard. But she can't even look me in the eyes when she says that.

I’m anxiously awaiting any word of my acceptance.

Many of us have been looking for jobs outside of the company. This is why it’s so difficult to find one. Majority of companies are offshoring. Where are ex Chevron employees going? Are you taking a pay... — read more 

I’m in finance in the Houston office. I have no idea what’s next. Will the re org mean demotions? It took me a while to get to my level. I wonder if they will pay us less if we do make it. More work less people lower pay possibly ?

Heard it’s closing downtown Denver and lots of AEOIs..

What are the opinions around job placement for PSG 21s?

From what I’m hearing, I can only conclude that the reorg will end up being a sh-tshow. We’re losing good people left and right, and some orgs are shedding significant numbers. Best of luck to everyone who has already been contacted.

Does anyone have any actual insight to when the planning for this reorg started? I work at Chevron, not an outsider trying to he funny here. I am just genuinely curious when this planning started and how long people in our organization has known this... — read more
